I offer a warm friendly approach to any problem or difficulty you may be experiencing. We’ll explore any issues together at a pace and depth that’s right for you and focussed to your unique needs .
I have experience in working with many issues and any concern is welcome . I have a particular interest in working with grief, loss and helping clients who’ve experienced trauma.
I have always worked in healthcare and previously worked in the NHS for over 30 years . I trained as a counsellor and psychotherapist after experiencing how invaluable and sustaining therapy was for myself .
I have also volunteered as a bereavement visitor for the local hospice and as a volunteer therapist for a charity helping local families with grief .
I am an integrative therapist which means we can work in a way that’s right for you.
It’s a privilege to work with clients at often very challenging times in their life and help them find their own unique way through .
Do get in touch if this sounds right for you.
